Best way to get in range.

[Ironhawk]

Yeah that was going to be my suggestion. If you really want to focus your attack on magic beings, Opposition and Control are the ones you want. Still - I presume that Eagle Kings have great MR. It wont be easy.

You can also set the commanders (mages) at far side edge of the battlefield and then set them to attack one turn, followed by cast, cast, cast. Its not the best option but it will cause them to run forward. Having them attack for only 1 turn will usually not get them into hand-to-hand combat range but will get them up closer to where they have a better list of combat spells to use.

You might want to give them some stout body guards if you do what gandolf is suggesting.

Maybe we are going about this the wrong way. Maybe you should make the Eagle Kings come to you? Maybe rage, any other ideas?

[Xietor]

Simple answers:

rings tamed lighting; script mages to cast resist lighting,
and later in the game, cast storm warriors.

use diversions. chaff. cast summon elemental.

Caelum has low hps. do spells that target all units on the battlefield(rain of stones etc).

Mist? Acid storm? The poison spell which makes it come out of the ground?

All the speels that affect magic beings only are short range. There is none that will help you here.
